  • One time I went to buy a power tool that was on sale at Home Depot. I did the self checkout and the sale did not ring up correctly. I got one of the employees attention and they just told me there was nothing they could do, whatever it rings up as is the price and they can’t change it. No amount of pointing at the massive sale sign would change that.

    So I put it back and bought it from an online site that was having the same sale. Fuck Home Depot… Since then I go out of my way to not shop there.









  • Django is great, I’ve used it in a number of projects, both paid gigs and side projects. Where it really shines is giving you a nice admin to be able to do CRUD (Create, read, update and delete) operations on the database with minimal work on your end. If you don’t need this, then something like flask is lighter weight and might be a better option.

    However, while python has type hints now, it is still a loosely typed language. If you really want to the benefits that come with a strongly typed language, I’d suggest maybe looking at Rust, Go or even TypeScript.

    If you are looking for FOSS, I highly recommend joplin. It’s simple but works well. I used it for many years until recently I switched to Obsidian. I dislike that Obsidian isn’t FOSS but I’m using the free tier and the community plugins really make it so much more powerful than Joplin. They both store things in Markdown so I’m not locked down to their ecosystem which I think is a requirement for any note taking app.
